"I recently took a lesson with Marcus, and it was so much fun! Marcus is passionate about his craft, and committed to the success of his students. His enth

usiasm for sharing his love of acting is really apparent, and you can tell that he wants what you learn in the classroom to feel relevant in your every day life. He does a great job of making students feel at ease, and he really knows his stuff. Highly recommended!"

"Wonderful teacher! Marcus is fantastic. His activities were a perfect fit for our group. He brought us all out of our shells and made is think about reall

y listening and observing the people around us.

Take lessons with Marcus!! You'll have the best time!!!"

"I have had an amazing experience with David. He has taken the time to truly get to know me and has set up our sessions based on what my goals are. He took

his time to really understand what I needed to take my skills to a higher level. I feel that I was able to open up to him with total confidence and trust. I feel that he takes his time to really understand his students and mold his sessions to the needs of his students. I honestly feel that I have found a mentor who I will be reaching out to for all my needs."

"Extraordinary acting/voice coach & mentor!!!

What can we say...Ms. Lar'Juanette is amazing! My 5 year old daughter has been taking acting/singing lessons

for a few months now & I'm absolutely amazed at how far along she has come. Ms. Lar'Juanette has brought out confidence & passion for the arts from my little one. Lar'Juanette is extremely professional, works great with children, patient, passionate, down-to-earth, always happy, & has the most amazing spirit about her! She has built a strong foundation for my daughter by starting with the basics of acting/singing, character building, confidence building, working with emotions, & presentation. There's so much more she has taught that I can go on for days! As a parent she has prepared me when it comes to "the business" & what to expect. I'm truly greatful for her guidance & support. With her experience you can't find a better teacher in town. We were lucky to have chosen Ms. Lar'Juanette as a teacher & my daughter can't get enough of her!"

Review by brenda

"Acting is very new to me and I was very apprehensive about my ability to pull off the character I am portraying. Joe had me run through some simple actin

g exercises that had me really thinking about the character and the way the character evolves throughout the movie. The lessons were fun and I felt very comfortable relating to Joe. He also has a role in the movie and has walked through every scene with me to make sure I am fully prepared. He has been an outstanding acting coach and a great support to me."

As with any profession, actors have tools. Just as a doctor needs a stethoscope or a fireman needs a hose, there are certain items an actor must keep in their toolbox. I usually start classes or lessons by asking my new students or clients what they think these tools might be. Sometimes, the answer is very literal ("Script!"), and other times abstract ("Passion!").
